"Came here to say this"

Also, while I will tolerate it, I hope we tone down the doggo speak

Ragebait like noahgettheboat, idiotsincars, publicfreakout. It’s the Jerry Springer of the 2020’s.

Leftie spaces being overtaken by USSR\China\North Korea stans. That just another win for opponents.

People constantly asking the same questions, resulting in the same answers.

Oh wow, people wish Firefly wasn’t cancelled? This is certainly new information.

"On mobile, apologies for bad formatting."

As if posting from a mobile device somehow prevents you from using paragraphs and punctuation? Give me a break. You either can't be bothered, which means you're not worth interacting with; or you had to repeat at least a high school English class or two growing up. Either way you need to stop blaming your fucking phone.

I happen to love megathreads. When a major breaking news happens I want to discuss it with the community, not read a dozen smaller threads repeating the same.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Other Redditors. Can we just be on Lemmy and move the fuck on?

the black and white mindset... you're either with the hivemind or against. no room for nuanced opinions. someone posts a stupid strawman argument pro abortion/anti billionaire/etc.. you can't point out the flaw in the logic without being called a sexist racist Nazi.

example: some post about how billionaires should pay 35% tax on their net worth, you point out that people are taxed on their income, not possessions, you're a bootlicker

Pun threads. They're not clever. They're the same, old, recycled jokes, and they just get progressively worse with every reply.

Also no trophy's, ever. Unless it's like a Mario Kart Lemmy Tourney. Then sure. But for a sub like that? NOPE.
